Been working with him on this for like 6 months and today he just did it. Didn't ask me once. I watched him struggle for a minute and then he got both shoes tied. My wife was in the other room and I had to hold back tears a little bit not gonna lie. These little milestones hit different.

Those quiet little victories hit different as a parent man. The fact that he didn't ask and just did it - that's him showing you he's growing up. How'd he react when he realized he did it?
That's awesome! Next thing you know he'll be tying other people's shoes and wondering why they can't do it themselves. Five year olds are funny that way.
